For a good cause

I spent the whole of yesterday at City Square doing my bit at
the Palliative booth. Together with Emily and other volunteers
we are here to distribute pamphlets to the general public to create an
awareness of Hospice and Palliative Care in Johor Bahru. I noticed
that the young people are more generous and responsive to this
good cause.

Me, Foo, a volunteer(didn't get her name) and Emily.

A snap with Emily my palliative nurse.

We had 20 girls from Convent to help us out distribute our pamphlets.

These sweet young things are great, as they managed to rope in some

cash donations. Guess people are more responsive to them than aunties

like me!

Wisdom comes with Age

The older I get, the less age seem to matter.. I have
always believed it is just a state of the mind and and as each
birthday approaches believe that I am too young to be
this old! It is a splendid time to celebrate and focus on
my birth, with family and wonderful friends I have
known over the years. It's my birthday today , I am
55 and proud of it.

My husband's birthday is one day after mine, and
we are going down to KL to celebrate with the girls.

International Womens' Day

I am here joining my friends to mark International Women's Day

at Grand Paragon, Johore Baru. The highlight of the Buffet high tea

is line dancing at the end of the party. These are the ladies who

refuse to go home, and wasted no time to start their dance.

One...two....three......

At the end , some of us had to kick-off our high-heels.

These high heels are not made for dancing......Oouch!

Notice the background....everyone has gone home except us. A day to

celebrate YOU.

Friend, Teacher and Mentor

Celebrating Lucy's birthday at a Japanese restaurant. Lucy is a very special

friend, our friendship has a special bonding, a bond of understanding,

honesty and acceptance. Although we know each other for slightly

more than a year only, I feel that we have known each other a

lifetime. She is woman of enormous strength and has inspired me

immensely.

“Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know

they are always there”

You ain't heavy cos you're my sister!

Friendship certainly takes us to alot of places!

Partner Yoga Workshop

Today Bronze and his Korean friend, another yoga instructress

has teamed up to organise a Partner Yoga Workshop

at Yoga Essence. I found the series of partner poses not only

fun but effective in stretching my legs and my abs.

It allows us to explore into boundaries unexplored,

and the counterbalancing poses was just simply

remarkable. Yoga has proven that you can easily raise

your partner even if they are heavier.
